Description Suggest change

A nice adventure climb with superb exposure without having to get too high off the deck.

Start up the face just right of the big chimney and stay right of the curving flake until you get to a good belay spot. I recommend this even though the pitch is short as the route makes a hard left at this point. Speaking of which, look left and marvel at the amazingly inviting (and a little intimidating) leftward traverse. Follow this very obvious line which offers good hand holds and protection but smooth slabby feet toward a more vertical short off width section (don't be scared it's not hard). Atop this OW there is a perch that could work as another belay, or just continue up the low angle slab/arete to the summit (beware of some fragile flakes on the last 25-30 feet and little in the way of solid protection).

I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an enjoyable adventure at the grade and an opportunity to avoid the busier cliffs.

Location Suggest change

At the far left end of the cliff look for the big dark chimney. This line is just to the right of that feature up the rambling low angle rock.

Protection Suggest change

Regular rack.
